In this episode of The NBA Podcast, Morten Jensen (@msjnba) and Bryan Toporek (@btoporek) discuss their early takeaways about the top rookies from the 2021 NBA draft class and the recent report linking the Boston Celtics to Ben Simmons.

Is it too early to panic about Cade Cunningham, Jalen Green and Jalen Suggs? Who should be the Rookie of the Year front-runner, Evan Mobley or Scottie Barnes? Which other first-round picks are making instant impacts for their teams, and how much should we buy into them moving forward? Should the Celtics be willing to trade Jaylen Brown for Ben Simmons?

Check out the episode to hear Morten and Bryan discuss all of that and more.
